US Open Day 6 Results: Special Kei in da House!

This is the one match I actually called, no? Special Kei takes out Daveeed Ferrer in five. What is up with Ferrer this season? It's unfortunate. But yay for Kei!

You do not lose to a guy who wears no-show socks. You just don't. Unless your name is James Blake. In which case you do. In straight sets. Horrible.

I'm telling you. Dinara just doesn't have it this tournament. Maybe it's the fatigue, maybe it's the emotional strain of her loss in the Olympics. But she hasn't looked sharp so far. She survived her match against Timea Bacsinszky in three. But I don't see her beating one of the Williamses. Heck, she might have a tough time with Amelie at this point.

Andy and Gael are through, with Gael taking out Headbandian in straight sets. Andy had a tougher time with Melzer, but he eventually prevailed in 5. Yes Andy, you are strong. We get it. Put your pasty white biceps away. Gross.

Querrey California continued his awesome run, beating Dr. Ivo in straight sets. Sammy looked good, but he's going down to Rafa in straight sets. As for the rest of the boys: Rafa, JMDP, and Stan the Man also came through, the latter two in 5 sets.

As for the Ladies, no real surprises other than Anna Lena Groenefeld taking out The Cone. Both Williamses contined to look dominant, Agi destroyed Domi in straight sets, Momo ended Julie Coin's historic run, and Flava Flav and Bremond also came through.
